Plan Your Wedding at The Heart of Penang [PIWE]

When it comes to Penang, many would first mention about how good Penang food is. But did you know? Our beautiful island actually have so much more to offer? Every Penangite should know and be proud of our Penang island and what other gem this place have to offer. From sandy beaches, Unique heritage buildings and also not forgetting the street art that pops up around Georgetown. Tho I'm not born in Penang but I spend almost all my life here so literally I would call myself a Penangite! ( and super proud to be one.yay!) And hey you lovebirds, why go through the hassle of having your wedding elsewhere when you can have it in the heart of Penang? From breezy beaches, historical UNESCO buildings( definitely insta worthy) to busy streets, the beauty of Penang would make your wedding shoot a spectacular and memorable one.

If you were in Penang last few weeks I'm pretty sure you heard about or came across eight brides on a trishaw mingling around Beach Street? And I'm sure you've notice a few people wearing a white tee with #PIWE? Yup that's us! I had so much fun being a crew, running around together with the photographers to get a good photo. If you didn't know what happened during this event, let me share with you. So on that Sunday morning, PIWE had a marketing campaign which features 8 brides which caught everyone's attention along the streets of Georgetown, from Beach Street, Peranakan Mansion, to Chew Jetty. It was tiring as hell being a crew, but never regretted a moment as I've learn alot from this task. If you're interested to check out more photos of what went down and how pretty the 8 brides look, you can scroll on or search the hashtags on Facebook or Instagram #PIWE #PIWE2018 #foreverinpenang.

And here let me blind you with the beauties and the beauty of Penang:

If I was the groom I would have a headache picking a bride. All of them were so gorgeous!

See the amount of photographers took part? I had some trouble getting just a little closer to take a photo of the brides but I was just too petite for people to notice so I just gave up. hahaha sad.

8 of the brides were show stopping, photographers couldn't stop clicking on their camera to get a good shot.

Groupfie! I had fun learning and also catching up with old friends. The brides were awesome, they had to go through the hot sun and still have to look pretty. Bravo girls!
